2013 North Star Super Sonic Mach 3 Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The Super Sonic series has quickly established a reputation for high quality 'contemporary' sherried styles, selling for song. Outturns are typically between 700 and 800 bottles. 2021 saw three new bottlings and they've arrived in Australia out of sequence. Mach 4 sold out many months ago. Mach 2 and 3 are now on offer. Distilled in 2013, Mach 3 is reported to have a particularly sherried character boasting chocolate and raisins, alongside hints of smoke (there's suggestions a whack of Islay made it into the mix too). We have tiny stocks from a yield of 777 bottles. 55% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the bottlers... Nose – Chocolate, auld Oloroso, jaggie nettles and coal. Palate – Sizzling raisins on a non-stick pan, some paraffin fumes from my Grans heater circa 1981. Finish – Sweetness off the scale, well-crafted blend of malts.
